Estaleiro Mauá
Niterói, Italy
Mauá Shipyard SA is the oldest private Brazilian shipyard, being surpassed only by the state-owned Arsenal da Marinha do Brasil, which was founded in 1808. Its origin is the Anglo-Brazilian company Estabelecimento de Fundição e Estaleiros da Ponta d'Areia, located in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, and was
bought on August 11, 1846, by Irineu Evangelista de Sousa, at the time Baron of Mauá. In 2000, the company entered into a joint-venture with Jurong Shipyard in Singapore, creating the company Mauá Jurong S/A (MJ). The new company, in addition to the construction and repair of ships, specializes in the construction of platforms for oil and gas exploration. The shipyard remains in operation, even with the crisis in Brazil.
